Welcome to the GWAC website!  GWAC was founded in 1974 by a group of African-American women attorneys in the District of Columbia who shared a vision of establishing a professional networking organization that serves the needs of the community and enhances opportunities for professional development.  We are an affiliate chapter of the National Bar Association, the oldest and largest organization of attorneys and judges of color in the world.  Please browse our website to learn of upcoming events and activities.  We welcome your membership and look forward to seeing you at our next event.

Women Lawyers Division Sponsors Supreme Court Swearing In Ceremony

GWAC to Receive Election Protection Award
Congratulations to GWAC Members! Our organization will be presented with the Young Lawyers Division's Election Protection Award during the National Bar Association's convention in San Diego, CA in August 2009.  We logged over 500 hours during the primary and general election season by attending training sessions, canvassing door to door, making phone calls, and volunteering on election day.  Thanks for all your hard work!
